Let’s go through each shape one by one and figure out what fraction is shaded.
We’re only allowed to use:
1,
½,
⅓, or
¼
That means we’re looking for shapes that are split into 2, 3, or 4 equal parts — and then see how many of those parts are colored.

Top Row:
1.
Circle divided into 3 equal parts, 1 part shaded (blue)
→ That’s
⅓
2.
Rectangle divided into 4 equal squares, 1 square shaded (purple)
→ That’s
¼
3.
Rectangle split diagonally into 2 equal triangles, 1 triangle shaded (yellow)
→ That’s
½
---
Middle Row:
4.
Square divided into 4 equal triangles (by two diagonals), 1 triangle shaded (blue)
→ That’s
¼
5.
Big square made of 9 small yellow squares — ALL are shaded
Wait — but our options are only 1, ½, ⅓, ¼.
If all 9 are shaded, that’s the whole thing → so it’s
1
But let’s double-check: The directions say “write 1, ½, ⅓, or ¼” — so even if it’s 9/9, that equals 1. So yes,
1
6.
Circle divided into 4 equal parts, 1 part shaded (green)
→ That’s
¼
---
Bottom Row:
7.
Rectangle split horizontally into 2 equal parts, top part shaded (pink)
→ That’s
½
8.
Rectangle split vertically into 3 equal parts, leftmost part shaded (blue)
→ That’s
⅓
9.
Rectangle split vertically into 4 equal parts, ALL 4 parts shaded (pink)
→ All parts shaded = whole thing =
1
---
Now let’s list them in order (left to right, top to bottom):
Row 1: ⅓, ¼, ½
Row 2: ¼, 1, ¼
Row 3: ½, ⅓, 1
Final Answer:
⅓, ¼, ½, ¼, 1, ¼, ½, ⅓, 1
